And if you’ve been thinking about economics, here’s a little post asking if Christianity is compatible with capitalism. While some of its points are obvious — it turns out, surprising no one, that people in a position of privilege see nothing wrong with being privileged — but it’s interesting to see numbers attached to the concepts, and get some idea of how widespread such beliefs are.

And at the intersection of economics and culture, Tech Dirt illumines the hypocrisy of the Motion Picture Association of America’s condemnation of Creative Commons licenses. The MPAA claims to be the guardians of “culture,” but they’ve never been interested in culture which provides them no profit.

In considering our reactions to issues in the world, such as those above, Skye Jethani cautions that the call to “radical Christianity” is not necessarily the correct approach Christians today should have to the gospel. Context is important to the argument, so please read both of the two posts. They are not long.

Until next week, the second week of Easter, may your spirits be blessed, your actions thoughtful, and your contemplations fruitful.
